Consulting

By combining our experience with your direct knowledge of the specific problem or set of issues confronting your organization, we’ll work together towards designing an effective solution that fits your needs.

No two places, problems, or cultures are exactly alike. What worked in one situation might be an absolute failure in another. We don’t approach your project with preconceived ideas of what has to be done. A fresh look is our first step. Maybe all you need is a well-designed Excel spreadsheet, maybe you need a distributed set of high-availability web services, or perhaps you want to design an evaluation for a program that has been underway for many years. Our goal is to find a solution that is efficient, effective and right for you.

Whether you need help refining your idea, doing human-centered field design, defining a new architecture, building open-source extensible software, discovering best practices in technology for humanitarian good, and determining the impact of your programs, our experience can add value to your project.

Our approach starts with the people who are meant to benefit from your program. We focus on human-centered design approach that involves listening openly to our partners, the final users, and experts in that particular area. We have the final users near us at each step, so that we can learn fast and correct our course quickly and frequently while innovating together. We believe that everything can be built in smaller, useful parts, delivering value in weeks and not years. Our highly skills interdisciplinary team of public health experts, scientists, and software engineers works closely with leading consultants and strategic partners in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas. Through collaboration, we are able to maximize our resources and work faster, smarter and more cost effectively.
